"Clam chowder became popular in the Northeast when the British and French settled in the region. They brought their traditions of seafood stews, which they began to make with clams, which were locally available around the Boston area. The now-famous Union Oyster House is attributed with popularizing the dish, even though it was served in homes before it ever made its way onto the restaurant scene."
Boston offers a mix of hyper-local classics and regional dishes for which the city claims fame. Clam chowder is a quintessential Boston comfort food: rich, creamy, and warming after a cold day. The dish traces back to British and French settlers who adapted seafood stews using locally available clams. The Union Oyster House helped popularize clam chowder in restaurants, although the stew was cooked at home earlier. Clam chowder remains widely available across Boston's seafood restaurants and is considered a must-try even for visitors who do not typically favor seafood.
